Information Bar Control

This is my first try at creating windows controls. It is an Information bar (Similar to the one used on IE in the new Windows XP SP2). This is a new way, that Microsoft seems to be trying, of showing messages to the user that is not as intrusive as the me message box. Code improvements are welcome. Please leave any options, comments, suggestions rant, etc. ------------------------------------------------ Update: I added support for animation and automatic close out thru the use of properties and custom Showing and Hiding methods.
